NOTICE.
Whenever, in the exercise of his best judgment, the compiler has considered
a coin to be false, or of dubious authenticity, it will be found so described throughout
this Catalogue; but, as a difference of opinion may, and probably will, arise with
respect to others, it has been deemed desirable to respectfully notify, that all
purchases are expected to be made upon the individual judgment of the purchaser.
INDEX.
The arrangement of this extensive Collection of Greek Coins being strictly in accordance
with the mixed Geographical, Alphabetical and Chronological system so admirably laid down
by the learned Eckhel — a system now so well understood by the Greek Numismatist, and there¬
fore universally adopted — it has not been thought necessary to extend this Index beyond an
Alphabetical reference to the various provinces, as in all cases, such reference being made, the
Coins of the Cities and Kings will at once present themselves respectively in their proper
Alphabetical or Chronological Order.

on the reverse size 51, wt. 104 grs. 1
*** In allusion to this very valuable medal Torremuzza says, “ Maxima; raritatis est,”
and Mion net estimates it at 300 francs. Sestini, in the second edition of his
Classes Generates, p. 18, erroneously renders the legend 2IKEAIOTAN., though
he had already given it correctly in the first edition of that work at p. 10.

a dead hare to right, Torremuzza, v, 1 size 9 by 7, wt. 2671 grs. 1
*#* This excessively rare and beautiful medal is so very slightly rubbed, that it may
be said to be in perfect condition, it is very accurately engraved, but on an
enlarged scale, in Noehden’s selections from this cabinet, part I, plate 3.
235 Agrigentum, AKPATANTINON., an Eagle feeding upon a dead hare to
left, under the hare is a small escallop shell, rev. a Eish, with the

closed, to left, rev. a Crab, on a slightly concave field, as Torr. Aact. I,
pi. i ,fig. 4, extremely fine size 7, tot. 265 % grs. 1
*** At the first glance this tetradrachm presents nothing remarkable beyond its
fine condition ; but on an attentive examination it will be seen that, in addition
to the antennas, there are four lines or linear processes issuing from, or
immediately upon the head of the crab; these were thought by Torremuzza
to be Punic letters, but their resemblance to those he names are _ purely
imaginary, as will be seen by comparing this beautiful and perfect coin with
his figure;’ his conjectures in reference to these supposed letters, of course fall
to the ground, audit is therefore necessary to seek another explanation of tins
remarkable deviation from the normal type ol the money of Agrigentum.
238 Another, same types, but the crab presenting only the usual eyes and
antennse, without the deviation just referred to, very fine
size 6!, wt. 269! 1
*** On this fine specimen it will be seen that the carapax of the crab is spotted,
and the various joints and tarsi of the legs are most accurately depicted.
239 Another, same types, but the eagle appears to be perched upon the
capital of a column, and under the crab is a kind of scroll, similar to
Torr. v, 5, very fine size 6^, wt. 265! yrs. 1
240 Another, with a flying Victory under the crab, as Torr. Auct. I, pi. 1,

of grapes, rev. 20TER. (retrograde), Jupiter-HUtophorus seated to
left, and in perfect condition size 1!, wt. 10 grs. 1
* A This obolus was known to Sestini, who assigned it to Galaria, but it certainly
appears rather to belong to Alaesa, of which city there are no silver coins on
record, that given to it by Mionnet (Sicile 82) belongs to Alifm.

247 Camarina, KAMAPINAION. before the Head of Hercules, in advanced
manhood, to left, rev. a Quadriga at full speed, to left, driven by a
helmeted female, who holds the reins with both hands, the usual Victory
over the horses, and on the exergue a swan in the act of swimming,
cf. Torr. xvn., 122, rare and in a very satisfactory condition
size 8, wt. 264 grs. 1
*** For a magnified figure of this tetradrachm, winch is from the Torremuzza Col¬
lection, see Noeliden’s Selections from this cabinet, plate 6.
248 Another, types similar, but without the swan on the reverse, very good
condition size 6^, wt. 211 grs. 1
*** The weight proves tins coin to he an ancient forgery, being of copper, thickly
plated with silver.
249 Another from quite a different die, with the shin of the lion’s paws
knotted round the neck of Hercules, who is beardless, rev. a Quadriga
and Victory to the right, and on the exergue two Hydrise or diotte,
Torr. xvii., 5, in very good condition size wt. 265 grs. 1
250 Another specimen, apparently from the same die, and in equally good
condition size wt. 257Tb- grs. 1
251 Another, youthful Head of Hercules to left, covered with the lion’s
skin, so as to appear enclosed in the lion’s jaw, before, a bow, rev. a
Quadriga at full speed to right, guided by a helmeted female (probably
the genius of the city), who holds the reins in the left hand, and the
rod or goad in the right, above, a Victory floating in the air in the
opposite direction to that of the horses and holding out a wreath, on
the exergue are two hydrise or amphorae, as on the preceding, and the
inscription KAMA PIN A, cf. Torr. xvii., 7, in very fine condition, and
ofi beautiful icorlc size 7, lot. 263 grs. 1
*** A magnified figure of this choice and valuable tetradrachm is given in Noehden’s
Selections, part I, plate 5. Torremuzza conjectures that the two hydrise,
which so frequently occur on the coins of Camarina, may he symbolical of its
local position upon the rivers Idipparis and Oanus. M. Noehden, however,
thinks they may refer to the festive banquets with which the victories at the
Olympic games were celebrated.

*** This beautiful composition, considerably magnified, forms the subject of part I,
plate 4, of Noehden’s Selections from the Northwick Collection. Torremuzza’s
figure is extremely inaccui-ate, and conveys hut a very imperfect idea of the
actual beauty of the coin ; his description of the reverse is as follows, “ Ab
alia vero parte Leda est a Jove sub forma Cycni, cui insidet, rapta, manu
nimbum supra caput expansum tenens.”

is inscribed the name of the artist, EYAIN ; on the exergue is a crab,
Torr. xx, 4, very fine condition, and of excessive rarity
size 61, wt. 267 grs. 1
%* This tetradrachm, from the Cabinet of Prince Torremuzza, is unquestionably one
of the most interesting in this magnificent collection, it is engraved in Noeliden’s
Selection, plate 9. It may be permitted to be observed here that Torremuzza
misread the letters on the tablet ETAO, which, he thought, was the word
ETAOriA in abbreviation, “ quo Grajci laudes, vel encomium quse victoribus
dabantur designabat.”
259 Catana, laurelled androgynous Head of Apollo, represented full face

reverse, the Victory stands on the reins which are held with both hands
by the Aurigarius, and under the legend is a fish, a beautiful specimen
though slightly rubbed size 7, wt. 2641 grs. 1
*** This is one of the fine specimens selected from this cabinet by Noehden who
has faithfully represented it on his tenth plate. By Combe, the artist’s name
was misread HPAKAEIAN, an error which is pointed out in the note appended
to lot 263 of the Sale Catalogue of the Thomas Collection.

xxi, 16, but that has a female head. It is engraved in Noehden’s Selections
plate xn, where the first letter is assumed to be an A, which it certainly is
not, but whether the second letter is an E is not so certain; hut as there is no
appearance of there having been any more than four letters, it is quite possible
the legend may be allusive to the city of Leontini.

visible ; not in Torremuzza, but compare lxxii, 2
size 11, wt. 668 grs. 1
* * It is to be regretted that the surface of this surprising production, like many-
other valuable specimens in this extensive collection, should have been covered
with a coating of varnish ; and furthermore that the eye of the female head
should be defective, a blemish apparently arising from a fracture in the die ;
with these exceptions, however, it is in the finest possible condition, and viewed
as an effort of medallic art, it is difficult to conceive anything more classically
beautiful and life-like than is presented by the composition on the reverse of
this numismatic gem ; it is not engraved in Noehden, though referred to in the
description of the following.
334 Another, but of a different style of work, although by the same

of Arethusa, which is neither diademed nor in a net, is a small scallop
shell, Tovr. Azuct. II, tab. VI, fig. 2 size 10, wt. 665-— grs. 1
*** The obverse of this valuable medallion is engraved in Noehden’s Selections from
this Cabinet, where it precedes the eleventh plate in the third part ; it is in
remarkably fine condition, and although of a different style of work to either
of the two preceding, may, in some respects be advantageouslv compared with
them.
o36 Another, precisely similar to the last, but without the shell, in beautiful
condition , but less spread than the three preceding
size 9|, ict. 6704 grs. 1
3>w Syracuse, a Biga in slow motion to right ; above, 2YPA903I0N., in
two lines ; rev. the head of Arethusa to left, in an incuse circle which
is within a square indentation divided into four parts, as Torr. lxxvit,
9, but the head on the reverse smaller, very early worlc, in excellent
condition, , and of great rarity size 7, wt. 265| grs. 1
33S Syracusse, head of Arethusa between four dolphins to right ; before it,
SYPA9O2ION. (retrograde) ; rev. Biga and Victory to left, and on
the exergue, 3YRA., Torr. lxxvii, 2, fine old work and condition
size 7, lot. 266 grs. 1
339 Another, apparently from the same die size 7, wt. 26L| grs. 1
340 Another, obv. SYR A 902I0N., direct and around the head to right, and
on the reverse the V ictory is walking or dancing upon the reins of the
horses, which are passing to the right ; differs from any in Torremuzza ,
but for the reverse compare lxxvi, 15, beautiful work , fine condition ,
and extremely rare size 7, wt. 266 grs. 1
*** -The letter 9 > loco K, indicates that these tetradrachms are of the earliest period.
341 Another, the reverse apparently from the same die as the last, but the
obverse is quite different, having the head to left, and reading SYRA-
KOSION., not in Torremuzza , old ivorlc and style, and in very good
condition size 61, wt. 264 grs. 1
342 Another, obv. old style of head, rev. Biga and Victory to right. _
Another, with the biga to left, unlike any in Torremuzza , but for style
of head-dress, cfi Torr. lxxiv, 6, both good tetradrachms 2
343 Others, as the first in the last lot, but varied on the obverse. — Another,
as Torr. lxxv, 3, but with a serpent on the exergue, both good tetra¬
drachms, and the reverse of the last very fine 2
344 Another, similar in general arrangement and the symbols to Torr.
lxxvii, 8, but a large coin, and the hair differently arranged. —
Another, with the hair short, and without any ornament whatever, and
on the exergue of the reverse, a snake, not in Torremuzza , botli Tetra¬
drachms of the biga type, and in very fair condition 2
SICILIA. — SILVER.

345 Syracuse, as Torremuzza, lxxvi, 1 ; lxxvi, 5 ; Auct. II, tab. vn, fig. 5 ;
and another, with the head-dress as lxxvi, 11, all Tetradrachms of the
biga type, and in very fair condition 4
346 Another, with the head diademed, and bound in a knot behind, unlike
any in Torremuzza , and almost fine size 6, wt. 270 j grs. 1
347 Another, as the fourth described in lot 345, but finer
size 6, wt. 270 \grs. 1
* * The weight of this and the preceding is remarkable. The heaviest of the tetra¬
drachms in the Thomas Collection weighed 270 3-10 gr., see the note in the
catalogue appended to lot 608.
348 Syracuse, of the triga type and peculiar head-dress, as Torr. Auct. II,
tab. vii, fig. 2, fine condition size 7, wt. 260b grs. 1
349 Another, as the last, and almost as fine size 7, wt.2Q>Qgrs. 1
350 Another, type of the triga, with a lion on the exergue ; the head on the
obverse laurelled and within a circle, and the legend retrograde,
Torr. Auct. II. tab. vn, fig. 3, who cites the Carelli Cabinet for this
very rare variety, very good condition size 7, wt. 263 grs. 1
351 Syracusse, SYPAKO^ION. around the Head of Minerva, with crested
helmet, represented nearly full face, but slightly inclined to left, and
surrounded by four dolphins ; on the left of the front of the helmet are
the letters EY., and on the right AEIAA., which, although the K is
not visible, is evidently the name of the artist EYKAETAA., rev. a
Quadriga and Victory, the charioteer holding up a whip, and the horses
grouped as on the Medallions of this city, on the exergue, is an ear of
corn, compare Torr. lxxiv., 8, but that has a dolphin on the exergue and
no letters on the helmet, in most beautiful condition , and unquestionably
the rarest type in the Sicilian series size 7-|, wt. 262 grs. 1
*** Noehden has figured tins splendid medal, plate xv. ; but in bis description he has
overlooked the final letter on the helmet, and therefore concludes that the
name of the artist was Euclides ; as a proof of its high rarity and money value,
the Thomas specimen which, as was fairly stated in a note appended to the
lot 593, was in a very poor condition, and had lost considei’ably in weight by
having been in circulation, nevertheless brought £29.
352 Syracusse, usual Head of Arethusa to left, dolphins, &c., above, 2YPA-
K02I02. (sic), and before the head a pair of tablets, on which is
inscribed at length, the name of the same artist, as on the last coin,
EYKA., EIAA., rev. the usual Quadriga and Victory type, and on the
exergue, EYMHiS OY., as Torr. lxxii., 11, whose figure however gives
only the tablets without the letters, in fine condition, and of extreme
rarity size 6|, wt 266 grs. 1
The letters on the tablets, which escaped the notice of Torremuzza, are very
clearly defined on this fine specimen; as a joint production of the two eminent
Syracusan Artists Eucleida and Eumeneus, this beautiful tctradrachm is of
the highest value and interest.

SICILIA. — SILVER.
3o3 Diademed Head of Arethusa, full face and between two dolphins, witli
ear-rings and necklet of pearls, and the name of the artist KIMDN.
inscribed in very small letters on the front of the diadem, all within a

Torr. auct. n., tab. vi., fig. 3, of exquisitely beautiful wor~k, in 'perfect
condition , and rare to excess size 74, wt. 269 grs. 1
*** This gem must be seen to be appreciated.
354 Another, same types and symbols as the last, but without the artist’s
name, the obverse of this rare specimen, though somewhat rubbed, is in
good condition, but the reverse, unfortunately, is partially coated with
black oxide size 7, wt. 256 grs. 1
355 Syracuse, 3YPAK02I0N.- behind a female Head, possibly intended for
Diana, in profile to left, with the usual number of dolphins, &c., and
on the diadem the name of the artist, EYMHN 0 Y., in two lines, rev.
Quadriga and Victory to left, Torr. lxxii., 7, in excellent condition ,
and of extreme rarity size 9, wt. 268t6q- grs. 1
356 Another, of similar style of work, but the name of the artist, which is
also on the diadem, is and on the exergue of the reverse are
two small dolphins, in very excellent condition
size 9^ by 7%, lot. 264-1 grSt i
*** This tetradrachm is engraved in Noebden’s Selections, plate xiv; but in describing
it be says “ on the diadem there are the letters 2U, probably meaning SnSIUN,”
whereas all the letters are, as above stated, perfectly distinct.
357 Another, same style of work, but the hair differently arranged, and
without the artist’s name, a variety of Torr., auct. n., tab. yi., fig. 7,
in very excellent condition, almost fine size 9 by 7, tot. 266 grs. 1

much rubbed though in fair condition size 7, wt. 265 grs. 1
359 Another, usual Quadriga type, but under the head, the name of the artist,
EYMPINOY., Torr. lxxii., 7, in good condition size 6, lot. 266 grs. 1
360 Another, with EYMHNOY. under the head, and on the reverse the
Victory over the horses holds an oblong tablet, the letters on which
are obliterated, Torr., act. i., tab. vn., 4, rubbed, but in fair condition
for so rare a variety size 7, wt. 261yrf grs. 1
*#* In Torremuzza’s figure, the tablet held by the Victory is inscribed EYAINETO in
two lines, a name so often found upon so many of the finest decadrachms; the
reverse of this coin bears the appearance of having been purposely defaced.
SICILIA. — SILVER.

364 Another, a variety of the last, the reverse imperfectly struck ; Another,
with a different head-dress, and imperfectly struck on the obverse 2

of the reverse, Torr. lxxiii., 8, very good condition

Alexander IV. the Son of Cassander, Alexander Balas of Syria, and to Ptolemy
IX. surnamed Alexander, King of Egypt. Eckhel, who is followed by Pellerin
and Mionnet, gave them to Alexander II. of Epeirus ; but the learned Dr.
Pinder of Berlin, proposes to remove them to Alexander surnamed Aegus,
the Son of Alexander Magnus and Roxana; and the late Mr. H. P. Borrell
assures us that all the specimens which he ever obtained were found in Egypt
and never in Greece.

Delphi, struck by the Amphictyonic League, veiled Head of Cores to
left, rev. AM<J>IKTIONf2N., around the type of Apollo Delphinius
seated on an usually ornamented cortina to the left, the head supported
on the right arm which rests upon a lyre, and with the left holding a
long branch of laurel passing over the left shoulder, in the field is a
small tripod, very fine condition, and rare to excess
size 5f, ivt. Yffl\yrs. 1
*** Mionnet estimates these coins, but reading only AM4IKTIO., at 400 francs, they
are unquestionably of the rarest and most interesting of Greece proper, and
were probably minted under the authority of the Hieromnemon and Pylagorae
of the Amphictyonic Council held at Delphi.
Bceotia, the Boeotian Shield, rev. IIEAI., a diota, size 4-h, an unpublished
variety ; Another, reading HIKE., and a club over the vase; Another,
ANTI., and a dolphin above, both size 5, and all very fine 3

panther seen in front, very early work, in excellent condition , and an
unpublished variety size 5 by 3, wt. 127 yrs. 1
Another, but without any symbol on the reverse size 3 wt. 131 \ yrs. 1
*** These remarkable archaic coins have often been confounded with those of the
Macedonian Neapolis; by some authorities they are now considered to belong
to Athens; the panther’s head however satisfactorily proves that they belong
to_ the same city, though to an earlier period, as the well known larger coin
with the head of that animal for its principal type.
Orchomenus ? Head of Ceres, to left, rev. EP. in monogram within a
wreath of corn, two remarkably fine varieties , size 21, and 2f, wt. 42-b,

*** These coins formerly assigned to Eresus Lesbi, or to Eretrise Euboese, are classed
to the Boeotian Orchomenus on the authority of the note of the writer of the
f homas Catalogue appended to lot 1414, but the attribution is not satisfactory;
and when arranged in the cabinet with other Boeotian coins, they do not appear
to be in their place.

*** Panel and others originally classed these varieties of the Cistophori to Tralles ;
but M. Dumersan in his “ Description des Medailles Cistophores dans le Cabinet
de France,” assigns them to Atarna. Dr. Pinder, however, “ Uber die Cisto-
phoren,” p. 571, is of opinion that the monogram is not dissoluble into the
name of either Tralles or Atarna, but into that of the Roman Quaestor
Pinarius Natta, the letter Q. being the initial of his office, precisely as it is
supposed to be on the Macedonian tetradrachm with the name of /Esillas.

*** Visconti has classified these tetradrachms according to a fancied difference in the
features of the portraits, &c. to the several Kings who reigned at Pergamus
from n.c. 280 to 133; hut his views are not generally accepted, for, by many
eminent numismatists, and among others Eckhel, it is considered probable that,
although struck by the later monarchs, the name and portrait of Philetserus,
the founder of their dynasty, were continued to Iris honour through the whole
period of then- mintage.

*V* On this most beautifully executed medal the infant Hercules is represented
entirely destitute of drapery, but on inspection it will be seen that there is a
loose girdle ornamented with a row of pendant pearls, suspended from the left
shoulder and passing under the right arm. To his description of the specimen
in the d’Hermand Cabinet, Mionnet (Sup. vi. p. 409) appends the following

It is a well attested historical fact, that Caracalla, on the murder of Geta, ordered
all inscriptions in his honour to he obliterated, and the coins hearing his
effigy to be melted down ; hence the great difficulty in obtaining the two
portraits in such an unmutilated condition as on this specimen ; besides the

*#* In deference to usage these pieces are here classed as regal coins of Galatia; it
is however now well known that they are always found in France, and never
in any part of Asia ; it is therefore more probable that they record the names
of otherwise unknown Gaulish Kings, and it is quite possible that those
reading Bitucus, Bitovius, &c. may refer to the celebrated Bitutius, King of
the Arverni, who was defeated and captured at the battle of the Isara by
Fahius Maximus in b.c. 121.

*** Till recently it has been customary to indiscriminately condemn these gold
octodraclims of the early Seleucian Monarclis ; unlike the large gold coins of
Lysimachus, Avhich are unquestionably false, these pieces, as in the present
instance, generally occur from different dies, and moreover always of a
suitable weight as multiples of the current tetradraclims of the period; for
these reasons the writer is inclined to the opinion expressed by the late Mr.
Burgon, namely, to consider them as authentic till proved to he false.
